Psalms 124 Bible Study Guide

Psalm 124 is a Song of Ascents that acknowledges God's deliverance. The psalmist declares that if the Lord had not been on Israel's side when enemies attacked, they would have been swallowed alive. The psalm uses vivid imagery — floodwaters sweeping over them, a hunter's snare breaking — to describe God's rescue. The concluding confession is that our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
